Ryanair’s fight against laws obliging it to feed and lodge airline customers stranded by events such as the 2010 volcanic ash cloud might have been dealt a blow by the Opinion expressed by an Advocate General of European Court of Justice on the case in march 2012. Yves Bot, one of the Court’s Advocate-General, published an Opinion stating that airlines were not exempt from regulations requiring them to pay for stranded passengers’ hotels, meals and drinks even if flight cancellations were caused by circumstances beyond their control. The ECJ has yet to issue its judgement in the case but often decides along the lines of Opinions from the Advocate-General. |
